Effects

You maybe wondering how I get some of the results you see, it's Photoshop.  Photoshop CS4 (until I upgrade later this year) to be exact, along with a couple hundred Actions.  What is an Action?  It is a saved set of commands and operations that can be utilized later on.  This helps make the photographer more efficient and helps standardize results.  No more of the how much of this or how little of that type situations.  At this time I do not utilize my own Photoshop Acitons but instead have purchased or collected Actions from access the worldwide web.  I thought I would share an image treated by several different Photoshop actions to give the reader an example of how much can be done with one image.  I have also included links to some websites that have great actions.
Enjoy
